Oil Filter Options

[GoldOxide_imp]

I found another oil filter that fits and seems like a sensible match for the CB1100.

The Super Tech MP6607 is the same filter as the ST6607, but the MP6607 has a silicone drain-back valve, while the regular ST6607 has a nitrile rubber drain-back valve.

Since the CB1100 is oil cooled, having a silicone drain-back valve which resists heat better than nitrile rubber makes good sense.

Of course, the Honda filter also has a silicone drain-back valve. But it should be illegal to sell $26 oil filters!

I'm glad there are good alternatives.

Dang. Oil filters are soooooo cheap in the U.S.

Exactly! If you can get equivalent or superior quality, why pay $26 when you can get essentially the same thing for $6?

Aren't Super Tech products available in Canada and Mexico too? I'm pretty sure they're sold in Mexico too, not sure about Canada.

Ps. If I had a new bike still under warranty, I could see using an OEM filter just to be safe.

My bike has been out of warranty for over 5 years. Honda doesn't need the extra $20 as much as I do!

Some Super Tech products are sold in Walmart Canada, but not all products.
